The HPAI Annual Clinical Education Conference 2026 will deliver a dynamic and clinically focused programme designed to support hospital pharmacists in advancing practice and improving patient care. Opening with a keynote on “Building the Pharmacist of the Future,” the conference will set the tone for a forward-looking exploration of evolving roles, innovation, and professional development.
The programme will showcase cutting-edge research through short oral presentations, addressing key areas such as medication safety, paediatric care, oncology, and the expansion of specialist pharmacist roles. A dedicated poster exhibition will further highlight emerging evidence and best practice from across the profession.
A central feature of the conference is its diverse workshop programme, offering practical, case-based learning across critical clinical areas. Topics include neonatal intensive care, hepatology, paediatric palliative care, and evidence-based anticoagulation management, alongside skills-focused sessions such as presentation development and using action research to drive service improvement.
With opportunities for networking, engagement with industry partners, and collaboration through Special Interest Group meetings, the conference provides a valuable forum for shared learning and professional connection.
This year’s event promises to equip delegates with practical knowledge, clinical insight, and the confidence to shape the future of pharmacy practice.
